Lunchables Jr. Lunch Combinations Make Playtime Delicious and Fun

This month I was chosen by Crowdtap.com to try Lunchables Jr. Lunch Combinations. They were amazing. My daughter and her little friend loved them under Playdate. The combinations we received were ants on a log and very beary crunch. They were delicious. The ants on the log included a little cup of peanut butter, Sun maid raisins, and Honey Graham sticks. My daughter loved dipping the Honey Graham sticks in the peanut butter and then sticking reasons to it. So much fun. The very berry crunch variety included Teddy Graham Bears, Ritz bits cheese cracker sandwiches, and strawberry flavored dried apple pieces. Again, my daughter and her friend loved it. They were thrilled to get to eat teddy grahams and Ritz bits at the same time. I thought the lunch combinations were cute playtime snack. There was a lot of food and plenty to share. I would incorporate a fresh fruit or vegetable to be served with this so that it was a little bit more healthy. But overall, I found it very wholesome and would recommend it to other parents.

MARC JACOBS DOT COCKTAIL PARTY & CROWDTAP

Yes, you are overcome with envy. As a member of Crowdtap, I was selected to host a Marc Jacobs DOT Cocktail Party this month. Seriously? DOT is a fab new fragrance by the esteemed designer and I had the pleasure of introducing the scent to my best friends...while we sipped libations. It was a great evening! We had a bartender friend, great food and and my girl friend even lent us her photo booth!  They loved the fresh scent, the adorable bottle and the polka dots. I set up a DOT Station in my living room so that my guests could freely sample my bottle of DOT, I gave out the little samples to all guests and the mini bottle to the one guest who remembered to wear polka dots.  They loved the upbeat and old scent. They had a great time and one lucky guest walked away with the MJ Dot handkerchief for herself and a headband for her fashionista daughter!  Thanks Crowdtap! Thanks Marc Jacobs! You ROCK the DOT!

Durex Sexplorer Sample & Share!! O-Mazing!!

I love sex! I love sex with my husband! I've been having sex with my husband for over a decade. I still love it but also welcome the kind if variety monogamy doesn't always exactly provide. Enter Durex's newest line of intimate products, Play, designed to shake things up a bit. Take sex from 'meh' to 'MEOW' in an instant!

As a member of Crowdtap, I had the opportunity to sample several of their products and the share some with my friends. The party got a little raucous at times, but all were glad to be introduced to the new line of intimate products.

The Goods:

Performax Intense Condoms, designed to speed her up and slow him down. These condoms were amazing. The texture was thin and delicate and contained a delay lubricant. Genius! Feel everything for as long as possible? My friends parters reported they loved the way the lubricant worked. my friends had favorite details of their own. They loved that the condoms were ribbed and dotted with tiny little studs that intensified their pleasure. Sensual pleasure on full blast!

Extra Sensitive Condoms, thin on latex but robust on feeling. These condoms were thin and delicate like the others but contain lubricants that send my friends soaring. The effect was subtle and restrained. But definitely noticeable. Our male partners reported that they "approved" of how thin they were. Not only did my female friends love the feel of the lubricants but they also loved that they did not get pregnant.

Lubricants, Piña Colada, Warmer, Tingling & Cherry. Love potions in a packet. My husband and I love the cherry flavor of these playful little delights. The flavor was pleasant and not distracting. My girlfriends loved the flavor of the piña colada and the sensation of the tingling. One of my guy friends mentioned that he liked the warmer more than his girlfriend did, but she liked it too. These were a simple and easy way to change things up in the bedroom.

Durex Play Vibrating Ring - OMG. This little device is incredible. Brilliant! For something so small it certainly does move mountains. The little ring has a vibrating bead. simple and it was an instant orgasmic success! All who tried it reported that it was their new "favorite thing". Used in conjunction with the play lubricants it was a night on the town right there in our bedrooms. We WILL BE BUYING THESE AGAIN AND YOU SHOULD, TOO. NOW. GO NOW. SHUT DOWN YOUR COMPUTER. GO NOW.

Thanks Durex and Crowdtap - The Sexplorers Sample and Share was O-Mazing!

Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell! Hosted Party! Crowdtap & FX!

As a member of Crowdtap.com, I had the opportunity to host a party in honor of FX's new hit show, "Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell".   For the party I invited all of my friends and family to join me in a late-night soiree to check out the hit new show airing on FX. On August 9, 2012 at 11:00pm we got our Totally Biased with W. Kamau Bell on! We drank and laughed. We had a great time!

The show is hosted by W. Kamau Bell and it takes an irreverent look at the social, racial and sex-based biases in our country.  The show examines prevalent social inequities with a blunt and unyielding eye! Topics include police profiling, the hypocrisy of politics and religion, and great racial divide.

My guess loved the show!  They laughed until they cried...despite the sensitive nature of the topics. The segments were fast-paced and lively, the delivery BLUNT and BRUTAL. Just the way W. Kamau Bell intended!

We also created a little fun of our own playing the TotallyBiased Toss-Up Game provided in the TB Digital Kit.  We put our biases in a hat and tried to guess which belonged to each guest. Without giving it away, I am EMBARRASSED to admit I have friends and family who are sexist, racist, and all around bad people!

I made a short video of my own bias, which has to do with Facebook! See it here:  BIAS VIDEO


To keep the laughs flowing, Crowdtap and FX provided links to a three minute highlight of the show (in cased you missed it!) and a look into Kamau's world:

Overall, a great party to kick off a great new series! My friends were tld to 'spread the love' and blast their friends about the show via Twitter and Facebook. We should all hate less, love more and laugh often. Sometimes the best medicine for social ills is to make fun of them! Right? Thanks Crowdtap and FX for the excellent opportunity!
